Objectives: Nowadays, to increase SOCIAL PARTICIPATION is a priority in almost all societies.

In order to collect the data demographic characteristic questionnaire and SOCIAL PARTICIPATION scale (made by researcher) were used. Findings: The findings indicate that life skills education increase SOCIAL PARTICIPATION in children. In addition, results of this research were showed that this efficacy was equivalent in girls and boys and life skills education increase SOCIAL PARTICIPATION in both groups equally.Results: The results of this research demonstrated that we can prepare children to more PARTICIPATION in SOCIAL activities, which it is from their certain rights, by designing of schedules for educating life skills to them. Then we'll able to provide condition for forming a dynamic society that it's dependent to whole society presence. As other researchers have been suggested, SOCIAL PARTICIPATION promotion programs should include girls like boys, because they are an important part of present society and they have significant role in this field. Also, these research's findings confirm that if enough opportunity and necessary skills be give to girls, they can participate in SOCIAL activities like boys and defend from their rights. These finding can help to clinicians and policy makers for developing programs and interventions for promoting SOCIAL PARTICIPATION in children and adolescents and preparing them for entering to adulthood.
